The article provides a length of 13.5mm which is only 10mm shorter than the distance between the seed comparison and the reported length of the species.

This doesn't parse for me. You mean the difference between the two lengths of seeds I gave? Thats 150mm - 3mm, which is more than 10mm longer than 13.5mm.

I was going to make the exact same comparison with the mustard seed and coconut, but looking at the numbers, it more or less tracks as being the center of the log scale between the two seeds. Palm seeds in general are exceptionally large compared to anything else, while we're at it.
